Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and threatening; themes: threat, vengeance, supernatural claim, confrontation; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots and close-ups, high-contrast lighting emphasizing facial expressions and the gun, typical of 1940s Westerns

Two men are in a wooden interior; one is seated and bound, the other stands and threatens him. The standing man claims to be dead and returned for vengeance, while the bound man warns that harming him will bring a haunting.

“So you're in on this to I mean on anything I'm telling my partner ain't got no money.” 46:33 · “And so do you. And if you don't tell, I'm going to break you. Then hey, now wait a minute, Bill. If you harm Elmer, he'll haunt you all the rest of your life.” 46:40 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
